Summary Feature

1. Collect and post hashtags
2. Post new clips
3. Stream start message

Feature

1. Collects hashtags in the broadcaster's Twitch chat and posts them to the configured Discord channel at the end of the stream or when a command is executed. It can be set that only hashtags with a configurable rank are collected (Vips, Mods, Broadcaster). You can also specify whether the hashtag function should be started or ended with the start or end of the stream and thus be posted automatically.
2. If a new clip is created in your stream, it can also be posted on the Discord channel.
3. When your stream starts, a message is sent to the Discord channel. You can customize this message and pass parameters.
4. Suppressing hashtags for the post via a blacklist and adding them via a command

Installation / Execution

The variables can be stored directly in the system or you can use an .env file. The template.env file can be used for this by renaming it to .env and writing the value to the required variables. The program was tested and developed under Python 3.11.
2. via a Docker container. Example see point Docker Compose Example below.

• Discord WebHook connection, check Supported platforms to broadcast

Supported platforms to broadcast

Currently only Discord is supported via WebHook. To do this, a new WebHook must be created in the server settings under Integration. Here you can also set the channel on which the notification should be sent.

Suppressing hashtags

There is the option of not registering hashtags for the post and adding them to a blacklist. All hashtags are in the file blacklist.txt and can be added there manually before the bot starts. While the bot is running, this is possible at any time via the chat command and is also entered in the text document.
